    Only few other interesting visitors... But the problem of bathroom being always full is always the same with female dorms...

    It's very clean and peaceful, also the female dorm was a surprise! I also love that there's a very useful shelf. The roof is very comfy to hangout in the evenings as well.

    Since I am only here for one night, I can't say exactly what I didn't like. In any case, the access road is too narrow for taxis

    I really liked the decor. When I was searching through Booking.com, the white decor of the room immediately caught my eye and the fact that breakfast is included in the price is also a plus point

    Great and chill host who runs a new hostel in a non-touristic district

    While the hostel is situated in a small alley in a non-touristic district, we stayed in the room directly above the lobby and the common bathroom (1st floor) and thus couldn't sleep well. We slept terrible due to the hourly clock sounds, screaming children and people using the common bathroom or having breakfast downstairs. Unfortunately, the mattresses were pretty hard. Using fingerprints to (un-)lock the door also gave us some trouble, but that's just how technology sometimes works.

    The very kind and hard working host Mr. Hà shows genuine interest in you and can help you in probably any matter! We liked to chill at rooftop in the evening and also loved the free water refill & that we could store some fruits/cake in the lobby fridge. The room was also quite modern and had everything we needed. It was my boyfriend's birthday while we stayed in Saigon, so Mr. Hà invited us for some Saigon beer. He also provided us with free drinks/snacks whenever we returned to the hostel. When we forgot our hiking boots, he sent them to our accommodation in Hanoi and didn't want anything in return. Cám ơn chú nhiều! When it comes to homestays and hostel, we value the hospitality of the host the most. Therefore, we would still recommend this hostel to everyone who starts their journey in Saigon, despite the below mentioned shortcomings (that are partly typical for Saigon, e.g., the noise and poor soundproofing).

    The owner is very helpful, we arrived at an odd hour but he graciously welcomed us and gave us a very clean room, he is very polite in nature. The room itself was super neat & clean and the sheets smelled awesome, we got the best sleep of our entire vacation in this place. Highly recommended!

    I literally loved everything of it. It’s a new hotel, spotless, typical Vietnamese breakfast was delicious, there is a common area downstairs in case you have to wait to take your plane or whatever. We only stayed for a night but I wish we stayed longer. Last but not least, the owner was incredibly helpful, he gave us so many recommendations and tips for our trip. Definitely stay here if you come to Ho Chi Minh!

    Great place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere outside the tourist hotspot. Great local food options and a short 10 min grab to town, depending on traffic. The host was incredible! His knowledge was great and took the time to have a 15 min conversation about Vietnam’s history. Each morning there is a different option for brekkie too! I would definitely stay again!

    Brand new clean facilities (do your part as a guest and help make sure it stays this way for posterity!) , comfortable beds, privacy curtains, attentive host, great location. My stay here precisely matched what my ideal 10/10 hostel would be. I’ve stayed in far too many hostels to count in my time traveling and this was easily the best one without a doubt.

    It wasn't an issue for me, but the walls in the room are quite thin and everything that takes place in the bathroom can be heard in the bedroom. If you are a super light sleeper without earplugs this might be bothersome.

    Lovely, well-cared for hostel with an incredibly hospitable team of folks running it. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the breakfast was delicious. The owner is a kind and conscientious host who I shared some really great conversations with. He is a wealth of knowledge and I really appreciated the time he takes to acquaint himself with the people staying there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this location to anyone visiting.

    Probably the best place in HCM

    Make sure you let Ha know what time you arrive if you first arrive late, and then have the code for the door if you're ever coming back really late at night or you could get locked out by accident!!

    Ha is the best host we have probably ever had. He is an ex tour guide and you can tell that a) he knows his stuff and b) he loves what he does. He helped us plan parts of our trip both while at the hostel and after we left via text. He knows real hidden gems and will give you really relevant suggestions for your trip. I can write the whole review about how great Ha was but I'll say a thing or two about the place too. The location is good, close to bus stops, ATMs, great local street food and drinks. It's also quiet and not touristy. The hostel is clean, brand new, each dorm is lockable by pin and each bed inside the dorm had a safety box with a lock - in our dorm everyone felt safe enough to not even use the locked boxes. There is good Aircon, safe drinking water for free, and a rooftop. The breakfast is delicious, fresh and changes daily. At this point it probably sounds like a fake review but we were genuinely this impressed - if you're staying in HCM and are looking for somewhere to stay, for this money (and probably much more), I don't believe it possible to find something better than Ha's place.

    The only downside is that is not in zone 1 and the tour operators won’t be able to pick you up. It was not a problem for me as I took grab that was always reliable. You need to walk lots of stairs but the staff helps you with your luggage.

    This is an amazing hostel, very clean, comfortable and it includes a breakfast (Asian one). I had so much fun staying here and was sad to go. The manager is very supportive and even arranged for one of my tours to pick me up from a location that was closer to the hostel.

    I highly recommend this hostel 😊

    This hostel ticks all the boxes for a great stay: the location is in a quiet alley, the rooms are extremely clean, and the shower is really spacious. There is refillable water, rooftop area, you can get your laundry cleaned. Furthermore, the host goes above and beyond - he will call bus company for you to set you up with better pick up place, make you alternative breakfast, help you with travel plans.

    Although we only stayed for one night, we enjoyed this hostel a lot! We were able to check in late at night after our delayed flight, enjoyed breakfast in the morning and even got a few tips for walks or sights around the neighbourhood. The hostel is very new and lovely decorated, the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom very clean and spacious. We wish we could have stayed longer!

    Location is a bit far from the main tourist sites.

    A very nice hostel with laidback atmosphere! Very kind and helpful owner, who speaks excellent English. He has a lot of knowledge about Vietnam, as he worked as a tourguide before for many years. This hostel was one of the cleanest I ever stayed in. Very nice female 4 bed dormroom with lockers, enough space for the luggage, and the room has a window. Free water refill and towel provided. They also offer laundry service for 20.000VND/kg.
